What's your point you trying to get across here? I think this would kinda would change anything for the endless-space enthusiasts why would travelling ridiculously long distances remain in a solo game? a game like elite dangerous did something like that even though it's just one galaxy. in my opinion the question should be whether or not making the map smaller would be necessary or not.

I mean, CPU and server performance are important as well. I myself see absolutely no point of having an universe so huge it's never going to be explored to even 1% of its entire volume when these resources could actually be saved for better InGame performance. That's just a waste. Martianant made a thread a good three hours ago in which he presented accurate calculations to determine the approximate number of star systems in different galaxies and in the whole universe, based on the galaxies' size.

1,724,064,000 star systems total in the playable area. That's more than one billion and a half. We do not need two BILLION star systems for the game to feel endless and huge. At this point we're talking numbers so high changing them won't even make the map's size feel any different for the average spacefarer. This is unnecessarily gigantic, and it still would be unnecessarily gigantic for a good 10,000 players--in fact, even with that many players, I'd be surprised if even a thousandth of it all got explored by 2025. A thousandth. Do you even realise the absurd scale of it?
